The sight of the devouring...

The sight of the devouring fire must have been very impressive to those standing at the foot of Mount Sinai.
An impressive modern sight that is awash with light is Times Square, in New York City. Billions of lights light up the "Crossroads of the World." Lights ranging from ordinary light bulbs and fluorescent tubes, to strobe lights, neon lights, to LED displays. Times Square is the only zone in New York City where the tenants are required to display bright lights. A walk down Times Square at night is not quickly forgotten.
And, the lights pay. It is estimated that 1.5 million people walk through Times Square each day and 26 million tourists a year come and spend millions of dollars.
The lights which make up the many signs are so profitable in fact, that renting out the façade of a building for sign use is more profitable than renting office space. The building at One Times Square sits virtually empty; only three floors of its 22 floors are occupied. The 26 signs on the building, however, generate income ranging from $40,000 to $250,000 a month.
Times Square houses countless restaurants, quality hotels, world-class theatres, and merchandise of every description; everything you could ever want is there.
This is very much in contrast to Mount Sinai's devouring fire, where Moses met with God and came away with two tablets of stone.
